Preparing the input folders for individual model runs¶
The IOW ESM is able to run a single atmospheric model and several ocean or land models at the same time.
For each of these sub-models, a sub-folder in the input directory has to be prepared.
It shall be named MODELNAME_GRIDNAME where MODELNAME is the name of the model (as it is called in the components folder) and GRIDNAME is the name of the model grid.
To start, it makes most sense to look into the input folders that come with the example configuration.
When you create your own model configurations, you can start by modifying those.
General remarks¶
The input folders can contain files and arbitrarily named sub-directories which will simply be copied (or dynamically linked) to create a work directory for the model.
An exception are subfolders named from.
These should themselves contain subfolders named after years or dates as YYYYMMDD (e.g. 1950 or 19501201).
In case that the starting date of a model run is equal to or larger than a subfolder’s date, the files inside this folder will be copied to the directory containing the folder from.
For example, if there are files
input/MOM5_maingrid/OBC/from/1950/obc_sealevel.nc
input/MOM5_maingrid/OBC/from/1951/obc_sealevel.nc
input/MOM5_maingrid/OBC/from/1952/obc_sealevel.nc
and the starting date of a model run is 1951-06-01, the file
input/MOM5_maingrid/OBC/from/1951/obc_sealevel.nc
will be copied (or linked) to
work/MOM5_maingrid/OBC/obc_sealevel.nc
Expected contents of the COSMO-CLM input directory¶

The following settings are required in INPUT_PHY:
llake = FALSE
